No comment bummer moment

I'm bummed that I don't have any comments despite the views I get. I wonder why. Am I not that interesting?? LOL.

I'm kidding, I don't mind.

I just need some reiterations here and there.

I need a correction note from my last blog since I don't feel like editing it: advertising is different from public relations. So, what I really meant was "Yay for PR," since I didn't pay for anything.

Also, about my entry a few weeks ago -- I still have not gotten back to you about the blog entry title. Guess what? I still don't know. LOL. -- it's somewhere in the 2008 section. It's not that important, anyway. It's just bothering me that I haven't answered my own question. HAHA.

All right, peeps, I gotta go now. I'm not sure if I could blog in the next few days, but have a great week, everyone!

Love to the nth power,
Mabelle

Day 5 - Letter to Your Dreams

Dear Dreams,

I don't know what this means. Is it dreams when asleep? Or dreams as in dreams for the future? Not sure.
Anyway, for dreams when asleep, thanks for being so entertaining for the past few sleeps. It's been really nice to dream about you, my dreams. Also, if possible, please filter out the dreams about someone whom I really don't wanna think about anymore. LOL. I would really appreciate it.

For dreams for the future, I wish to meet you very soon. I hope that I'm on the right path to meeting you.

This is all. Shorter than usual, but it's all I have.

Love to the nth power,
Mabs

I just had to post these again. It's what I have yet to do in my 30-day project, which isn't literally 30 consecutive days for me since I get interrupted by some other things.

So! Thanksgiving has gone by. My weekend has come and gone. Tomorrow's another school day. I have tons of things to do, and I don't like it. I've been procrastinating, but I really believe that I needed the rest. I have these major things needed to be done this week:


-TESTS!
-THE binder for strategic management
-corporate finance nightmare...

Also, I wanna give a shoutout to my sister who texted me after she read my blog. LOL! I guess she found out about it through my YM stat. HAHA. Yay for advertising.

Those are my updates for now, and I will have my Day 5 letter up next.


Love to the nth power,

Thanksgiving Holidays

Hi, Everyone!!!

Updates:

I know I haven't been writing much, but thanks to all who are reading this. It's been a while since I checked the stats, but there seems to be an increase-- which is good. Thank you so much. Apparently, I am "searchable" in google.com.ph with keywords "letter to best friend" or something of that sort.

Well, probably, to your chagrin, it isn't really a sentimental letter to a best friend in particular, is it?
Well, anyway... it helps my stats. Hehe.


So, what have I been doing these past few days...

Well, I was extremely busy preparing for the major presentation that my group and I worked hard for. We worked all weekend and managed to get it done the night before the presentation. All I can say is: Practice helps.

We did better than expected during the presentation, which gave us a high grade of 95.7. However, some of our classmates apparently thought that we weren't prepared. I wonder what universe that person comes from. We were clearly prepared during our presentation, but I am not going to debate about that feedback now. It just goes to show that some people are inattentive to things -- or just plainly biased.

Thanksgiving tomorrow, and I am so excited because we get to eat turkey! :)

It's not part of the Filipino culture, but since we've been here, we started succumbing to the tradition of Thanksgiving and turkey. I think that it is a great holiday, and I always look forward every year to it. :)

As for gifts and stuff. Well, my family doesn't really have the funds for anything right now, so we settle for food, and that is more than enough compared to others. I celebrate Thanksgiving because there is sooo much to be thankful for.

So, thank you friends and people who have been part of my life. To God: Thanks for all the good things that happened this year. Also, thank you for all the lessons I learned. It has been a wonderful year, and I wouldn't trade it for anything since I already know that I can't. Hehe.

That's all for today, folks!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving, WORLD! You are awesome.

Love to the nth power,
Mhaby

Day 4 - Letter to Your Sibling

Dear Ate MM,

How are you, ate? I hope you're doing well in VA, and I hope that not many patients are stressing you out too much. I'm not sure what you're doing at this moment, but I hope you're enjoying. I'm not very expressive in the family. I don't really show too much care or concern when I'm home-- or when you're home.

I probably annoy you too much, but I try to not be in the scene at all when you're around. You kinda annoy me sometimes, but I don't want you to see that. I love you and I am SUPER grateful to have a sister like you. You are SUPER smart and SUPER pretty. I like your name, your figure, and your face. I like everything about you, but if there's a glitch, it would probably be your personality sometimes.But, everyone has a personality glitch anyway.

You're one of the coolest people in the family. You're a doctor. You're single. You're cool. I am thankful to have a generous sister like you. If it weren't for you, I would probably not finish college for the life of me. Thanks for paying for my tuition, even though for some reason I feel that you really didn't want to pay for it, but thank you anyway.

You've been my inspiration and idol throughout my younger years. To be a doctor is difficult, but you've never failed to show me that you're determined to be a doctor, and I admired you for that. If only I were as disciplined as you were, but I'm getting by my own way. It's not really working much since I'm not contented with it. Anyway, I'm done. All I wanted to say is that I thank you, I love you, and I admire you.

I hope you get the man of your dreams and that you would have a family, too. I wish you to be happy and content. Love you, ate! :)

Love to the nth power,
Sis

Acting Debut

Hi again, folks!

Sorry for being so blog-hog today. I was just checking my stats earlier. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO VIEWS MY BLOG!!!
Anyway, one of my posts was displayed on my stat thingy... I clicked on it and it was a silly little entry on acting. Silly, but way sarcastic on my part. I apologize. It isn't harmful, though.
So, as I was saying...
I read the entry, I edited some grammatical errors, and I noticed that at the last part of the entry I said: "only time will tell when I get my acting debut" or something like that. Refer to the blog entitled -- (I'll get back to you on this...).

It's funny that I said that because only time did tell when I finally got my acting debut...
That entry was on November 8, 2008, and my debut was, I believe, in April of 2009, which is only a couple of months after that entry.

I debuted on the AU stage as Eve from "The Apple Tree, Act I". Dave Lloyd (Adam), Matt Stauffer (Snake), and I were in it. It was a fun experience. It was a mini-musical, which we played for two nights. Both, I was told, were full houses.

After that, I got another huge role as Shen Te from Bertolt Brecht's "The Good Woman of Setzuan". It was a three-hour fall-production with different interesting characters. It was my first full major play. I got to play a poor woman who sells herself to make ends meet, but because of her good nature, playful gods helped her by giving her money to start a business of her own. Shen Te, however, was too good of a person that she was often taken advantage of. She then decided to pretend to be Shui Ta, a fictional cousin. Eventually, she got pregnant by a man she fell deeply in love with. However, because of the crazy world that this fictional character lived in, she decided to stay as Shui Ta forever. It was an open-ended play.

In the end, I got burnt out.

Thankfully, I got my first and last Irene Ryan Nomination. I also got a medal for being nominated and a trophy for being Best Female in a Lead Role. I was touched. Thank you, Dr. Thomas. And, thank you, AU theatre.

Now, I am, again, active with the theatre. I am not in the play anymore, but I am helping out as an ASM or assistant stage manager. I am happy with it, so I don't mind the long night hours and the repetition of it. Tonight is another play night, and I am expecting a good turn out. Tomorrow night is the last night. I will be sad after, but I'll get over it. Honestly, I like this play (Yevgeni Shvartz' The Shadow) than GWOS.

That's all for now, I need to get going. Bye guys! :-_

Love to the nth power,
Mhaby

@today updates

Hi, World! :-)

How's it going so far? Me? I'm doing well... I have tons of projects to finish, but I think I can handle. Thanks to some trustworthy people surrounding me.
Today my group and I did some work on the Apple project. It isn't a cakewalk and we have a week left to go. We need to put together a huge binder, but I am not positive that we could put it together soon enough. I hope we can 'coz if not, I might die (or at least my grades would).

On another note, I talked to my crush today. To those who are familiar with my recent 'project' -- I am referring to Crush # 2. Yup, I talked to him. I even gave him my number. I don't have his, so I am praying that he would text me sometime soon. I would reaaallllyyy appreciate it to the nth power. He has an iPhone, btw. :-) Yup, I have descended to the creepy level for a while, but I think I'm okay now. So, yeah, anyway, I talked to him. He is soooo adorable. He is cute, in a Latino kind of way, to the nth power.

Uhm, what else is new... well, nothing much, really. I'm just trying to finish a paper for accounting and a project for strategic management. Very boring stuff, I'm telling you. Then I have to go back to school because of the play-- again.
Ugh, I am soooo tired, but, hey! No pain, no gain.

Btw, I have to put this in here:
Ngusoboi made my day today. Whenever he does something unexpected, it makes me happy. He offline-messaged me on YM and told me that he read my blog and that he wanted the "unsent letters" for Christmas. That was definitely unexpected. I also think it's very thoughtful of him, so I'm gonna give a shout out to: NGUSOBOI Macky D. :-) Love you, dear! ^_^

So! Gotta go! Love you all!

Love to the nth power,
Mhaby! ^_^

Day 3 - Letter to Your Parents

Dear Mom and Dad,

I love you. I always have, and I always will. I am so thankful for having parents who care so much, and are so selfless. I don't think that happens too often nowadays. Thank you for being very supportive with whatever I do and whatever I want to do. Thank you for going to the plays that I have been in everyday. Thanks for the flowers that you've given on the last day of the play. I know I didn't show much gratitude before, and I regret it so much. I now realize that it is the sweetest and most thoughtful gesture ever.

I'm sorry for being so selfish all the time. I try not to. If only you know how much I try... Thanks for guiding Ate and me throughout our lives. We would not have been here -- alive, God-fearing, well-mannered, etc., if it weren't for you. Thank you for working very hard, so that Ate and I can get a good education and have a good pre-employment life.

I just want you to know that everything I invest in now-- my studies, my extracurricular activities and networking, and my personality-- is all for you. I hope to give back to you at least half of what you have given to me--because I KNOW that IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to give it all back. I also want you to know that I try to give my best until I could finally give my best... all for you.

I pray that all your dreams and expectations come true, and I wish you all the happiness in the world. If only I were smarter, I could have done a lot more. But until then, I will give my all to better myself for you. That's all, Mom and Dad. I love you.

Love to the nth power,
Mabelle

Day 2 - Letter to Your Crush

Note: I have two crushes. As usual, one for each.

Dear Crush #1,

Hi. I see you all the time. Mostly every Mondays. It's one of the reasons I like Mondays. I don't like them that much anymore, though, but I used to hate Mondays with a passion. It's sad 'coz I don't think I crush (like) you anymore. I mean, you are my ideal guy, but we don't talk that much--mainly because we don't have anything to talk about. I don't think we have anything in common except that we're in one place every Monday. I never have a chance to talk to you even then anyway because there's always one of us who's busy. Plus, you don't smile to me very often. You don't really talk to me first. And with my pride sometimes, you won't talk to me, then there's not going to be much discussion between us. However, sometimes I'm nicer than that...

I think I'm droning on...

Anyway, if only you weren't cute, smart, and nice... it would have been so much easier to befriend you. Right now, I find it more comfortable to ignore you. Oh well, story of my life.

Sincerely,
Mhaby

-------

Dear Crush #2,

Hi! It was nice to officially meet you that night. I know you're so much younger than me... 2 or 3 years? But, you're kinda cute. I hope we'd get a chance to know each other. I'm just too busy, you know? However, if you stop by the BH lounge often, then I might be able to get a chance to approach you. I don't mind doing that since you're way younger than I am. Please don't be scared, I don't bite. Small world--to think that your best friend/cousin was my buddy at one point.

You know what this means? Fate.
I know, I know, it's not a definition. LOL.
Anyway, I'll see you around Crush #2. I'll have to talk to you anyway, I need some ideas for Thursday night. Hehe.

That's all.

Sincerely,
Mhaby

Day 1 - Letter to Your Best Friend

Dear Best Friend,

I'm not sure who you are. You'll have to define "best friend" for me. I have lots of best friends, so I might as well write a short letter to each of them here (not in any particular order):

Dear Jolly,

We haven't talked in a long while. Wala na akong balita sa'yo. Alam kong busy ka, pero actually, busy rin ako. I'm not insinuating anything. LOL. Just saying. I just wanted to say HI! and Thank You! sa lahat ng naitulong mo saken nung high school days natin. Thanks rin kina Tita and Tito -- pati na rin kay Kuya Jay at Ate Noning. Pasensya na kung lagi akong tumatambay sa inyo dati. Ang saya kasi, e. Sorry rin kasi hindi ako nakakapagkeep in touch these past few years. Makakabawi rin ako one day. Anyway, 'til that day comes, hope your doing well in your studies and in life. Alam kong super pangarap mong maging doktor ever since, and I know you will be able to do it. I'm looking forward to seeing you again soon. Love you, bessy! --Tuloy Pa Rin, kahit anong mangyari! :-)

Love,
Mhaby

Dear Jess Heller (Six),

Hi Six! Although there's only a 10% chance that you would be reading this, I would really really like to acknowledge and thank you for being one of my best friends. You are awesome, and I kinda think that you already know that. I wouldn't in a million years have thought that we would be friends, much more close friends! You're just this outspoken, determined, and smart girl who seems to be almost everywhere all the time. It intimidates me, but almost anything or anyone intimidates me, anyway. --I want you to know (someday) that I'm very proud of you and your accomplishments. I hope you keep it up and that we still will be in touch after college. I'll miss you badly.

Love,
Maria

Dear Macky,

I hate you sometimes, pero alam mo na yun. Madalas akong natatouch sa mga sinasabi mo. Madalas rin akong madisappoint. Marami akong sulat na nagawa para sa'yo pero hindi ko sure kung naibigay ko. Natutuwa ako tuwing nagoopen up ka saken. Naiinis ako tuwing iniindyan mo ko--lalo na 'pag once in a while na nga lang tayo magusap, pinagpapalit mo pa ako sa less important things (i.e. gaming). Thanks for being there whenever may mga crazy moments ako. Never mo ako nakitang magperform, never mo nakasama pamilya ko. Never ko na-meet pamilya mo. So siguro para maging uber fantastic and official best friends tayo-- mageeffort akong makilala pamilya mo. Pero kung kelan pa yun? Hindi ko rin alam. Tungkol naman kay KZ, babawiin ko yung sinabi ko sa'yo dati na magbaback out ako kapag dumating yung time na papipiliin ka. Hindi ako baback out kasi mas nauna ako at hindi kita balak agawin--not in a million years. Best friend kita, pero kahit ikaw yung natitirang lalaki sa mundo, mas makukuntento na ako sa pagiging single. Love you, though! :-)

Love,
Mhaby

Dear Hazel Xylene,

HI! I miss you. Sobra. Kung lalaki lang ako, niligawan na siguro kita. LOL. Pero buti na lang hindi kasi too much pressure. Thanks sa pagapproach saken nung HS, a. Hehe. Sure ako na ikaw yung nagaapproach saken kasi takot akong magapproach sa'yo. Scary ka kasi e. Takot ako sa mga cool people. O-ha! Cool ka, e. Ikaw yung cool na nakikiride sa mga uncool na tulad ko. Yung tipong pinagbibigyan mo na lang yung mga kalukahan ko para lang hindi ka maging lonely. HAHA. Medyo type ko yung humor mo, e. Tamang timpla ng sarcasm. Anyway, thanks for being there. Someday mas madalas na tayong magkakasama. Magsoul-searching tayo pareho. Hindi nga pala ako inaadd ni Jake. 'Di niya ata ako gustong maging kaibigan ever. Oh well. Ganun talaga ang life. The End.

Love,
Mhaby
----------
Dear RA,

Hey, How are you, dear? I'm fine. I ran out of things to say anymore. I don't think I have anything else to say except that you're one of the finest people I know. You know a lot of information and people. It's so amazing. You're smart and nice and awesome. I hope you like How I Met Your Mother coz I liked it a lot--even before it became a trend. Obviously I don't like it that much anymore. Oh well. Anyway, I love chatting with you, and I like talking about random things and learning a lot of things -- i.e. SKYPE techniques. Hehe. I wish you'd still write songs. I like your songs. That's all.CTYL.

Love,
Mhaby
----------
Dear AC,

Hey AC! I look forward to you being a politician.

Love,
Mhaby

------------
Dear Jayjay,

You are awesome.

Love,
Mhaby

------------------------------------------------

Okay, obviously I am getting really tired to write EACH of my best friends a letter. I still have others, but I don't really want to seclude anyone. :-(
I'll make more blogs about people

Sunday, November 7, 2010

I Miss You

Special blog for the people I missed last week.
It's later than I promised, I know. But, better late than never.
Okay, here it goes:

I miss:
Ms. Hazel Agosila (a.k.a. Ezelita, Zel, Bakla)
-One of my closest and best friends from high school. Technically, we first met in third grade. I don't think we were close then. Not that I remember much from my grade school days...
-I miss her and her very sarcastic humor, which is just like mine, btw.
-mostly known for her creativity and her huge eyes (lol. kidding, Zel! 50% chance that you'll be reading this)

Mr. Rinovic Masa (a.k.a. RA, ar-ei)
-One of my closest and best GUY friends from grade school. Okay, maybe I do remember some things back in grade school...
-Very child-like sometimes, like me!
-I can talk about everything crazy with this guy -- except love life (I think? I seldom talk seriously about love with him... Idk... hmm...)
-known for his smarts --especially in Math, acoustic guitar talent, photography, and updated blog --in Tagalog

Mr. Antonio Cesar Manila (a.k.a. AC, Sir, Prof., Prez, etc...)
-I'll keep repeating myself if I say "one of my closest and best guy friends from high school"... but he is.
-I could talk to him about ANYTHING. He listens.
-known for his liberal ideas, deep advices on relationships, and seriously corny jokes.

Mr. Jose Lacanilao, Jr. (a.k.a. Jay, JJ, Jeje)
-Same as above --from high school.
-Influenced me back in high school to talk to people, have fun, and just be happy.
-If there was an award for "Person Who Matured A Lot Since HS," he would probably get it.
-known for his openness and physically big head (hehe)

Mr. Mario Ortiz (a.k.a. Mariow)
-SAME --from hs
-Was the first one who pursued me EVER! I had a crush on him a year later. LOL!
-I miss his awkward opinions on everything and his competitiveness.
-known for his frankness and choosiness

Mr. Jonathan Bade (a.k.a. Jon)
-Same as above -- HS.
-He was my boyfriend when I was a senior in high school. Officially, we lasted for a week, but technically, we were together for a year... long story.
-Most supportive person in my circle.
-known for his Math and badminton skills. Also known for his fondness for Tennis.
-can't seem to open up much to him anymore... weird.

Mr. Marco Dionio (a.k.a Nguso, Macky)
-best friend since junior year in hs
-Sometimes I hate him, sometimes I don't.
-My ultimate crush in HS. Wasn't worth it. LOL.
-I can make a whole blog entry for this guy just because I can. There's something about him that I just can't figure out, which is probably why I was attracted to him. I still can't figure him out today, but minus the attraction.
-known for his 'playful' arrogance (or less the 'playful'), athleticism, muscles, and Math skills

Mr. Arvin Ferrer (a.k.a. Kuya)
-one of my closest and best friends after high school
-I miss chatting with him, every single day...
-known for his above average Math skills
-he always managed to ask the most awkward college-boy questions before... he doesn't do that anymore now, which is good! LOL.

...so... this entry is MOSTLY guys... Well, back in the days, my friends were mostly guys anyway...
I don't think I came across as a flirt. I was more--one of the boys or little sister-kinda person...
I missed a LOT of people last week that I wanted to go back home to the Phils. However, there are some things that need to wait.
I miss more people than who I listed here.

I also missed a special someone whom I hate right now, but it's kind of a habit of mine to miss and hate this person really. He's just like Macky, but Macky and I are close, so I can tell him that he irritates me, I can be biatchy to him, and I can be sweet to him, if I wanted to. However, this mystery person--we weren't close ever... AT ALL... but we still have history nevertheless... and probably one of the reasons that I can't fully let go is that I don't really have anything to let go of. We never really started... but I ended it without reason.

Frankly, it kills me to think that it could have been so much better, had I been wiser and more mature. However, all I can do now is just reminisce. HAHA.

Anyway... time for the RANDOM person segment.

I missed Ms. Pat Ledesma -- for some reason. I just missed her. I wish we were closer.

That's all for today! I have to print out some stuff.

Love to the nth power,
Mhaby

Mahal Kita. Hindi mo lang alam.

Hi. It's me.

I've been thinking about someone special lately, and I can't deny the fact that I still have regrets. I think I'm beginning to accept the term 'first love,' if I haven't already.
I still regret hurting him. I still regret ending things with him. I still regret not pushing through with the idea of 'a relationship.' I still regret. Sometimes I move on, sometimes I come back.
I blame it all on my youth.
If only he loved me now...and not before. It would have been so much better.
:-(

Anyway, this isn't the special blog about the people I miss today. I'll write it up later when I get home from theatre work.

Love to the nth power,
Mhaby

Glitches, Malware, ETC!

Hiya friends!
I just needed to make an entry today. It's been a long, crazy day...
Spanish presentation - CHECK! Now I don't need to worry about that anymore. However, one of my slides didn't work right!!! ARGH! It was an informative slide, too... :(

Well, all my six slides were informative, but I was just so thrown off by that glitch, I couldn't stop thinking about it. LOL. Whenever something not right or unusual happens to me, I couldn't stop talking about it-- especially when a.) it doesn't go my way; and b.) it was unavoidable.

I was so disappointed that when I went home to fix this computer of mine (HP Pavilion dv6000 - b2007), I told my mom about it. At first, my mom told me that I was unprepared, and then she decided to joke about it. She said that I shouldn't have freaked out; I should've explained to the class that there are things that we can't control--"but to fill time, let me tell you a dirty joke..." hehehe... it cracked me up... I should've done that.

After that, I proceeded to fix my computer. I tried several things to get rid of the Smart Defragmenter malware that was in my PC's system since this morning. I researched about this malware online and then I followed the steps. It took 2 hours for the anti-malware scanner to finish, but in the end, it still didn't get rid of the application.

I messaged my friend who was online at the time. He's a Computer Engineer major, but he really doesn't know EVERYTHING about PC, but I took a chance. He hasn't heard of the malware, but he gave me a link to an ask site. I looked for what I needed, or thought was necessary to my situation, and that did it.

The malware--or at least its application--is gone. I am at peace now. Yay.


Long story short, it's a crazy day.
That's all. Thank you.

Love to the nth power,
Mhaby.
